Region 3 Exhibition

This is the piece I'm going to enter in the Region 3 Exhibition at the Gaddy-Hamrick Art Center. It's not even done and to be honest, this piece has been a bear. Nothing i've done here came out how I expected.. but i keep plugging away hoping I will like the final version.

The one thing I like about this piece is that the colors of the gear create an optical illusion, tricking your eyes into thinking it is moving.

I've been working with new colors and shapes.. sort of playing with the gadget concept. It even works... sort of.. when you turn the turny thingy the rope moves along the pulleys raising the paint can.

Hello, My Name Is: Ian

After graduating from the School of Visual Arts NYC (Pop 9 million), I took a job teaching middle school art at Roseboro-Salemburg NC (Pop 2,300).

After a bit, I decide to try my hand at climbing the corporate ladder. Although I enjoyed working for my 9 bosses and relating to Dilbert jokes, I felt something was missing. I decided to take a tiny, minuscule pay cut and go back to teaching.
